Hyperrealistic Miniature Film Sets in French Museum

Housed in a 16th century building in the historic center of Lyon, France is the Musée Miniature et Cinéma, a 5-story museum containing over 100 miniature film sets. The tiny scenes were produced by world-renowned miniaturists and contain the highest form of Hyperrealism in order to trick the audience’s eye into believing each set was indeed life-size. The miniature collection presents most of the Dan Ohlmann’s pieces together several other artist, as Ronan Jim Sevellec, Michel Perez, Laurie Courbier or Alan Wolfson. Whenever you are in French we think this museum is a must be place to visit.
